Yep, lots of psychics are addicts themselves. for sure.
I used to read here way before I became a member, and that's what opened my eyes. Not talking about the newer members, but the Veteran's stories. I actually used to rely on the feedback on Keen and various sites as to what a reader's accuracy was...then I found this site and SPS etc..and I remember thinking, wow...so maybe they're all wrong?? And yes, for the most part, they were all wrong.
I don't believe that some people don't come back because they are happily living their lives...maybe like 1 in 20 that might happen to. I think more just got disgusted with the whole process or are still lurking, in denial.
I really loved getting readings in the beginning, made me feel like I was part of some higher spiritual experience, esp. believing all the BS they told me about first guy...So I can see why some posters are such vehement defenders of readings.
I personally feel for the most part, they open you up to bad things. If and when I meet someone new, I won't get any readings on them...I feel it jinxes things. Sad to say, but true.
